Okay so I am going to come out of the closet. I am a crunchy mom. There I said it. I am not a go with the norm cause it is normal kind of mom. Which is really funny because I have spent my whole life caring what other people thought, going out of my way to be more normal than normal. And now that I think about it the more normal I have tried to be, the more dorky I turned out.
That being said- I do not care what normal moms do. Before Katie was born I was terrified at the idea of caring for her. I had NO idea what it was going to be like to be a mom, or what kind of mom I would be. So I decided to just do what felt natural, somehow the what "felt" natural turned into what was natural.
So things that describe me as a mom are organic, homemade, co sleeping, baby wearing, elimination communication, responsive... humm I am sure there is more but that is all I can think of right now.
The thing is I think there are all kinds of ways to be a great mom... this is the way I think is working for me. Hopefully some day she will think I am a great mom and not the dork I have been my whole life to everyone else.
